A place that transcends time, where one can indulge in a delightful blend of coffee, food, and appetizers, all while relishing the breathtaking view of the sea. The tables are strategically placed to offer a unique experience of dining almost on the water.

Oh my goodness, what a stunning beach! The crystal-clear waters are so shallow and the sand bottom is impeccably clean. It's a wonderful spot to relax and soak up some sun. However, do note that there are no sunbeds available, so bring your own towel or beach chair.

The beach is quite ordinary with water that lacks cleanliness and an abundance of seaweed. Unfortunately, there are no sunbeds to lounge on due to the small size of the beach. While there are numerous shops available, they mainly consist of restaurants and cafes rather than beach bars. Despite its shortcomings, the beach is still a charming spot in Patras to take a leisurely stroll and enjoy the picturesque scenery.

The beach is a captivating sight especially during sunset, but its charm extends beyond that time of day. Even in broad daylight, it is a pleasant place to be. The beachfront is dotted with numerous eateries where you can relish a meal while the waves gently lap at your feet.
